    3. To whom it may concern; My name is Gene Olson and I am investigating www.familydiscovery.com for possible internet fraud. I am looking for any individual who has been involved with this company. I am looking for people who have paid money to this company or have had their sites linked to by this company. If any other possible crimes have been committed by this company I would be glad to hear about that as well. If you feel you have been cheated by this company in any way feel free to contact me. Please do not contact me telling me this company does not exist or that you do not know what I am talking about. The company does exist but has recently changed servers and it may take a while for the site to show up on some services. Also some services block access to sites especially ones that have the kind of history this site does. I am only interested in hearing from people who have legitimate concerns or would like additional information. I have not personally been ripped off by this site but have already been in touch with many individuals regarding this site. I have been in contact with the Secret Service and police from at least three different states. I am not affiliated with any local or federal law agency. I am simply an individual who does not like to see people getting ripped off. If you have issues with www.familydiscovery.com but do not wish to work with me directly I would be more than happy to supply you with names and numbers of individuals who already have some understanding of this case. The only reason I am not making those names and numbers available here is to prevent crank calls from flooding the offices of the state and federal law agencies working on this case. I was specifically asked by one individual on the case to not disclose their phone number unless I was contacted directly. While investigating www.familydiscovery.com a second company has come to my attention. This company may or may not be running illegal operations. I have been in direct contact with the company but they seem unwilling to share even the slightest information regarding their company. This company is doing business with Amazon.com but due to the way the company site looks and the reactions of the owner(s)? I have a hard time saying they are not at all involved in something shady. Like I say, I tried to contact them directly but they seemed to only be willing to speak with law enforcement agencies who are now involved. The company's name is Global Data CD Publishers. They operate the site www.gencd.com and are suppliers to Amazon.com. Anyone with any information regarding this company (good or bad) is encouraged to contact me. I have no proof that this company is doing anything wrong but at the same time the company has given me no information to lead me to believe they are innocent either. I have a hard time believing that a company looking for distributors of their products would be unwilling to talk with someone about those products. My contact information is: gene_olson@hotmail.com (877) 319-9699 Toll free! (515) 237-0014 If you live outside the US where the toll free number is not available. You are free to call any time of the day or night. The phone has no answering machine but someone is normally home. If no one answers it means that I am probably asleep (I sleep strange hours.) However, if you really need to contact me keep calling and I should eventually answer the phone. If you are thinking this sounds like something out of the Twilight Zone you are not alone. The internet is a new arena and I am constantly surprised by the tactics of scam artists. Hopefully this issue will be resolved quickly. I would like to go back to what I normally do as well. That's playing computer games and surfing the web if you care. Sincerely, Gene
